******************************
During their earlier clash, Li Weiyi had completely shattered and obliterated the defensive scriptures inscribed on the Three-Eyed Chi Jiao's scales.
The Heavenly Sword Talisman pierced through its body, leaving a bloody hole.
The Transcendent Bone Talisman Paper, its radiance dimmed, flew back into Li Weiyi's Spirit Realm between his eyebrows.
Severely wounded and with its combat prowess greatly diminished, the Three-Eyed Chi Jiao lost all will to fight.
If it didn't flee immediately, it might suffer the same fate as Ye Cang and die here.
It activated a profound Escape Technique, enveloping its body in a layer of escape light, and resolved to return and report to Prince Mingjiao.
With the prince's personal intervention, seizing Immortal Herb would be assured.
"Whoosh!"
Hong Ling (Red Silk) shot out, coiling around the Three-Eyed Chi Jiao's neck.
Li Weiyi gripped Hong Ling (Red Silk) tightly, as if holding reins, and used the Chi Jiao's escape technique to break through the Dragon City Mirage's encirclement, reaching the sea surface over twenty miles away.
This spectacle stunned countless Martial-Mystic Cultivators and Demon Beasts who had rushed to the scene, witnessing what appeared to be a dragon-riding escape across the sea.
"Aow!"
The Three-Eyed Chi Jiao roared in fury, realizing Li Weiyi was still on its back. It unleashed the Wind Thunder Banner in attack.
"I've had my eye on that banner for a long time!"
Li Weiyi activated the Spirit Treasure Seizing Hand, shattering the Windthunder energy and firmly grasping the banner's pole.
His eyes cold and resolute, he leaped up and plunged the banner pole into the dented scales on the Chi Jiao's head, where the scales had been crushed earlier.
"Pfft..."
The Wind Thunder Banner pierced through the Three-Eyed Chi Jiao's skull, its Windthunder power churning through flesh and bone, extinguishing its life force.
Gradually, the Chi Jiao's vital signs faded to nothing.
The Martial-Mystic Cultivators and Demon Beasts who had been pursuing the creature halted in their tracks, fear gripping their hearts.
Their interest in Immortal Herb vanished.
This was far too ferocious - even the Young Celestial Emperors couldn't match such ferocity.
Wu Hongling's graceful figure appeared on the distant sea surface, her presence deliberately understated.
She wore plain white robes cinched with a jade-green sash, her face veiled.
Her former sensuality was completely gone; now she exuded a fresh, otherworldly aura.
It felt deliberate, as if she didn't want anyone to recognize her as Wu Hongling.
When she saw the vibrant red silk ribbon coiled around the Chi Jiao's lifeless neck, her emotions surged violently.
Her full chest heaved with anger.
She was convinced that Li Weiyi brandished the Hong Ling (Red Silk) in battle solely to flaunt it before everyone.
'This kind of man,' she thought, 'would undoubtedly boast about planting the Six Desires Talisman within me, reveling in his twisted achievement and bragging to others.'
"Did you know? Li Weiyi is actually Liu Fengshu! Their Psychic Power aura and attributes are identical!"
"Impossible! If Li Weiyi is Liu Fengshu, how could they have appeared simultaneously before?"
Hearing the whispers, Wu Hongling's mood darkened, her gaze hardening.
Earlier, she had lied to Sheng Wulian, claiming that "Liu Fengshu" might be a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor.
Now that Liu Fengshu's true identity had been revealed, Sheng Wulian might actually believe the rumors circulating outside, suspecting her of collaborating with Li Weiyi to seize the position of True Disciple.
"Damn you, Thief Li! He's the one spreading all this information," Wu Hongling thought, her anxiety intensifying.
She feared the news of the Six Desires Talisman leaking out, which would utterly ruin her reputation.
After retracting the Wind Thunder Banner, Li Weiyi glanced at the rapidly approaching Wu Hongling.
He dared not provoke her.
He knew she truly hated him to the core and might immediately unleash the transcendent power dwelling between her eyebrows.
"Hong Ling, long time no see. The Nether Realm of the Dead is showing signs of disturbance. You should be extra cautious from now on... Sheng Wulian is here. I'll take my leave now!"
Li Weiyi activated a Divine Speed Talisman and shot toward Phoenix Stone Reef.
Wu Hongling froze, puzzled by his sudden, gentle words.
Only after hearing the second half of his statement did she realize what he was up to.
Li Weiyi was digging another trap for her, determined to bury her completely.
'Is this a trap I must fall into?'
She had always been the one manipulating others, but facing Thief Li, she suddenly felt her own innocence and naivety.
Sheng Wulian arrived, soaring over Wu Hongling's head.
His voice was cold as he said, "Li Weiyi has stolen an entire Immortal Herb. Why aren't you pursuing him? Are you waiting for him to cultivate the Immortal Body? Wu Hongling, put aside your petty schemes. Be careful not to be used without realizing it. The position of True Disciple isn't so simple."
The sea area surrounding the Nine Dragon-Locking Pillars had completely dried up, the seawater draining into the depths below.
The Dragon-Locking Pillars' power prevented the surrounding seawater from rushing in.
Immortal Haze surged from the crisscrossing seabed fissures, while the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Qi condensed into a golden Rosy Mist, transforming the surrounding hundreds of miles into a miniature Immortal Realm.
With each breath Li Weiyi took, massive amounts of Dragon Qi flowed into his body, rapidly enhancing the quality of his Spiritual Qi.
'Such an opportunity is truly rare and profound, with far-reaching consequences.'
'The major powers in the surrounding region will undoubtedly see their strength surge within the next century. Their advantage will gradually manifest as the Martial-Mystic Cultivators who participated in today's competition for this opportunity advance in cultivation.'
"I suspect many veteran powerhouses at the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm will break through to Immortal Realm in the coming period."
"Among these young Heavenly Prides risking their lives in this competition, some ordinary Chief Disciples will inevitably ascend to Superior Chief Disciple status. Perhaps even a Top Chief Disciples will close the gap with the Young Celestial Emperors."
As Li Weiyi flew over a chasm, he glanced down.
His vision was obscured by Immortal Dragon Qi, but he could sense the vast aura of the subterranean world, making him feel as insignificant as dust.
When the Ancient Immortal Giant Dragon lived, its power must have been unimaginable.
Even after millennia of death, its residual aura remained terrifying. A single drop of its blood or a wisp of its Qi would be treasures beyond mortal comprehension.
Curiosity stirred within him.
'Master Coffin, Hidden Lord, Tang Wanzhou, Yao Qingxuan... What opportunities await them below?'
"Whoosh!"
From the chasm erupted a torrent of scriptures, their forms resembling dragon claws, horns, thunderbolts, wind mists... intricate and profoundly mysterious.
"Immortal Dao Scriptures!"
Li Weiyi abandoned his pursuit of Sheng Wulian and Wu Hongling, who were trailing behind, and veered toward the airborne scriptures.
Having seen Immortal Dao Scriptures before, Li Weiyi recognized them instantly.
The Yu Jia Feather, which had belonged to Luan Sheng Lin You, bore Immortal Dao Scriptures representing the Dao cultivated by Immortals.
Each Immortal Dao Scripture erupting from the ground now contained a wisp of Ancient Immortal power, indicating they were more than mere scriptures.
Li Weiyi unleashed Hong Ling (Red Silk), attempting to sweep them up.
But the scriptures pierced right through the silk, proving ordinary spiritual artifacts couldn't restrain them.
"Whoosh!"
The Wind Mansion acupoint at the back of his head opened, absorbing dozens of scriptures.
These scriptures, cultivated by the Ancient Immortal Giant Dragon, resonated deeply with his Dragon Seed Dao Fruit.
They fused directly into it, becoming part of Li Weiyi's cultivation.
The cultivation realm he had been unable to break through for so long suddenly surged with powerful fluctuations.
The Dragon Seed Dao Fruit trembled, its scriptures surfacing, and the World Barrier of his Innate World showed signs of expansion.
Overjoyed, Li Weiyi knew that seizing this opportunity would greatly benefit his future progress in the Immortal Realm and Other Shore Realm.
He shouted toward Phoenix Stone Reef, "Martial-Mystic Cultivators of the Dragon Seed Dao, those who aren't afraid to die, come quickly and collect the Immortal Dao Scriptures!"
The Immortal Dao Scriptures weren't just appearing near Li Weiyi; they were erupting from the fissures across a wide area, signaling the imminent departure of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Remains from the depths.
Opportunity and danger coexisted.
On Phoenix Stone Reef, Ge Xiantong, already impatient, charged out the moment the scriptures appeared.
Zuoqiu Hongting, Cang Li, Tang Wanqiu, Zhu Yibai, Yin Jiu, Yin Shiyi, and other young Dragon Seed Dao-martial cultivators rushed toward the nearest fissure.
Moments later, a second wave of Martial-Mystic Cultivators surged forward.
Only a handful remained on the reef.
Li Weiyi rapidly collected the Immortal Dao Scriptures, gathering dozens at a time while constantly shifting his position to maintain distance from Sheng Wulian and Wu Hongling.
The two of them also opened their Ancestral Fields to collect the scriptures, but they continued to close in on Li Weiyi, their interest in Immortal Herb growing ever stronger.
After absorbing over a thousand Immortal Dao Scriptures and a massive amount of Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Qi, Li Weiyi felt his Dao Fruit growing heavy, and his Wind Mansion showed signs of strain.
Martial-Mystic cultivators in the Dao Seed Realm couldn't absorb indefinitely; excess would lead to the catastrophic rupture of their Ancestral Field and Wind Mansion.
The Dragon Seed Dao Fruit underwent an even more violent transformation, causing the Wind Mansion to expand rapidly.
Li Weiyi's aura grew increasingly powerful, spiraling out of control as he began to break through his cultivation realm.
As the Dragon Seed Dao Fruit spun wildly, a vortex storm erupted within the Wind Mansion, frantically absorbing the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Qi from the surrounding environment.
"His... his power fluctuations are growing exponentially stronger! Even the level of his Spiritual Qi is evolving..."
Wu Hongling's bright eyes widened in shock as she realized Li Weiyi had never been at the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm.
He was only now breaking through to it.
'If he succeeds in this breakthrough, how terrifyingly powerful will he become?'
Sheng Wulian's brow furrowed deeply. If the Li surname cultivator had only been at the Eighth Heaven before, he was far too dangerous to let live.
"Whether he cultivated the Dao Seed in his Ancestral Field or Wind Mansion, this child must be eliminated."
"Primordial Chaos Palm!"
Abandoning his attempt to retrieve the Immortal Dao Scripture, Sheng Wulian channeled all his Spiritual Qi and unleashed a Dao Technique.
Not only did the Primordial Chaos Life Qi surge forth, but ninety-nine percent of his Immortal Body's Blood Qi also erupted, driving a palm strike toward Li Weiyi, who stood within the vortex of Immortal Dragon Qi.
The palm imprint loomed like a cloud, its interior scripture flickering with light, every vein and meridian etched with perfect clarity.
Li Weiyi formed the Heaven-Turning Palm Seal and casually extended his palm.
Before the palm strike, a dragon-coiled ancient seal, as large as a palace, materialized in a radiant projection, colliding violently with the Primordial Chaos Palm.
The clash shook the entire region, the energy surging outward with such force that it remained potent even miles away.
Sheng Wulian was sent hurtling backward over a mile, landing on the withered seabed.
He quickly channeled Spiritual Qi into his feet to stabilize himself, his expression shifting through disbelief and shock.
He had poured his full strength into that strike, a blow charged with momentum. His opponent, in the critical moment of a breakthrough, had been forced to defend passively, naturally wielding only a fraction of his true power.
Yet despite this, Sheng Wulian had been forced onto the defensive.
Li Weiyi had only just broken through to the Ninth Heaven, his physical cultivation still shy of perfection.
In the Dao Seed Realm, he had vast room for growth. If he were to reach Sheng Wulian's peak realm, what unimaginable heights would his combat prowess attain?
Could Sheng Wulian even withstand another strike like that?
Wu Hongling was equally stunned by the scene.
This was the first time she had witnessed Sheng Wulian being outmatched in a one-on-one battle against an opponent of the same realm.
If they knew Li Weiyi hadn't broken through to the Ninth Heaven, but had only just reached the Eighth Heaven, their expressions might have been even more astonished.
